Due to its fragile ecosystem and in order to prevent massive devastation and deterioration of the natural landscapes, along with the endemic flora and fauna, the Galapagos National park and the Government of Ecuador have decreed that the maximum capacity of passengers up to a 100 persons on each cruise besides the local crew that usually in the big yachts range between 20 to 30 members.
Meanwhile the maximum capacity among LATIN TRAILS cruises is up to 16 passengers, considering that a smaller yacht will influence in the positive development of relationships and socialization between the crew, the guide, and the new friends that you could make and who are part of the itinerary and tourist group that you belong to.
The Galapagos Sea Star Journey cruise has been operating in the archipelago for about 3 years , and is considered a modern ship that has been also recently refurbished in the cabins, halls, and other social areas. The contrast of sober and clean colors as a format of decoration, along with the modern lighting, would definitely impress you late in the afternoon and during the romantic and quite evenings along the archipelago. The big photo frames hanging on the cabins´ walls from some of the most iconic endemic creatures from the Galapagos Islands, will remind you of the excitement of your journey in this enchanting and mysterious place on planet earth.
Based on my personal experience onboard the cruise, the most relevant social areas to get to know people, as well as making yourself notice among the group are of course, the sun deck with its big sun beds and Jacuzzi, the lobby where you can play table games, get hot coffee, tea and water all day long, and the dining room where you can interact with your peers during meals.
The briefing time is also another space to share your comments and thoughts about the development of the trip. Here, the guide will provide you and your peers important information and suggestions about the places scheduled to visit before each expedition. Here, you can ask questions regarding concerns or doubts that you might have during your stay, as well as about the cruise´s services during sailing.
Also, every time you came back from a snorkeling activity, the crew will welcome with dry towels, along with drinks such as tropical juices or hot Ecuadorian fine chocolate, as well as tasty Ecuadorian appetizers such as small tortillas, empanadas, etc. This detail would recharge your energy for the next activity awaiting for you.
The food usually is buffet for breakfast and lunch, and for dinner is a serving gourmet dish from the menu with the options to choose among seafood , chicken, or meat.
To have a brief idea about what kind of menu you can get onboard, on breakfast time are available scrambled eggs, pancakes, fresh cut fruit, bread, along with 3 kinds of cheese, and 2 types of cereals that you can eat with milk or yogurt. If you want grille bread there is a modern toaster accessible in the dining area as well.
During the lunch time you could get pasta with chicken, shrimp, or meat, as well as salad made of fresh vegetables such as tomato, lettuce, broccoli and cucumber as an example.

Whenever you come to the Galapagos islands, keep in mind that it is not a resort where you can chill out and enjoy exotic drinks while you get a tan at the beach. Even though, the landscapes of the Galapagos will give you without a doubt the feeling of being in a SPA resort through its beautiful surroundings and peacefulness, after all you need to stick to a planed schedule according to the itinerary previously chosen at your arrival.
